Ten Things

Hello! Good week? I’m still on a high because this week my partner and I had a rare night out together. Dinner, a comedy show and a live band. It was perfect. One of the things no-one warns you about becoming a parent is that you’ll spend more time socialising with other people, whilst the other parent stays at home to watch the kids. It’s good to actually spend time out together, without the kids, to remind you why you like each other!

6. Extreme botany (see top photo). This was the most fascinating read into a world I had no idea existed. My career adviser at school certainly didn’t tell me about this! I don’t know if I would have the guts to hang from a cliff or jump from a helicopter to take samples of near extinct plants., but a job where you are a proverbial James Bond of the plant world sounds incredible, and important.

10. After the mint tea article I posted, one reader said she normally makes wine from her mint. I was intrigued, so I have found a recipe for mint wine if anyone wants to give it a go? If that’s too much hard work, I’ve found a recipe for mint citrus white wine sangria that’s much easier and quicker to concoct!

The chaos has commenced, and it’s school holidays here now, so I am taking a short break to do fun things with my kids. Think beaches, sandcastles and ice-cream – weather permitting. There will be no Ten Things next week, but come back in two weeks time for a return to regular posting!
